i suspect this is indicative of some other problem on your
system. many people have compiled gtkmm 1.2 with older gcc/g++ systems
without problems. not sure, however.

you will find many, many benefits of moving to gcc/g++ 3.2. the
improvements in the STL implementation in libstdc++ are just a small
set of them.
